Impressive rocks rise up into the sky above the hiking trail. The mixture of the heath-like meadows with the steep rocks and the great view of the valley makes the hike a real pleasure for all the senses.

February 27, 2022,Heiligen Figur im Stein – Alter Steinbruch Runde von Schernfeld
A tour 😉 through Wacholderheide 🐑🐏 is always great. Many sections belong to the Altmühltal Panoramaweg 🏞 which we love because of the super beautiful views ⛰.
For the rest you had to look for a windless 🌬 place, because it was pretty fresh up there.
